When one side is "everyone should be able to live without worrying about medical care, food, or housing, also equal rights for racial minorities and LGBT people" and the other side is "you're all on your own, also more money for the ultra rich, and LGBT people don't deserve rights"... Anyone who is still in the middle has shit opinions. And no, I won't try and meet the middle in the middle, that slight sliding scale is what the DNC has been doing for decades and look at all the good that's done them the first time they end up against someone who has zero qualms breaking the law or precedence.

I dunno, Europe has been making headway with basic rights... But they also don't have as many white nationalist types as leaders within one of two major parties that constantly vie for power.

Saying that striving for equality is out of touch with reality is fucking vile and says everything about your stances.

The scariest thing is that us in the middle is whats likely keeping things going. See, the enlightened centrists on CE who are really just trump supporters arent indicative of the whole.

The truth is the DNC doesnt give a shit about you, they already have you. The GOP really doesnt give a shit about most of their voters either, cause they already have them.

both parties do what they do to target the middle and those edging towards the middle from either side. The likely reason we have any progress being made period is because both sides are fighting for our good graces, if they are really even fighting at all.

if it wasnt for the middle nothing would get done and you would keep voting for your party while lapping up every were trying they give you.

So do calm down. All youre doing is making yourself look bad here. I dont need you to tell me who Im voting for and why Im voting for them. I dont need you to tell me the right is absolutely worse than the left is. This is all shit we can still see even though we dont belong to the DNC for fucks sake.

I'm not saying that. I am saying people should live with the purpose to feed and house themselves and their families without the government standing in the way or discriminating against them based on their race, sexuality or anything else.

But if you want to boil that down to a cartoonish villain knock yourself out, it says everything it needs to about how your stances hold up to reality.

We have the resources and money, but most of it's in the hands of billionaires who have so much money they literally couldn't spend it all in their life. Don't forget Bezos earning more money in a few seconds than most Americans in an entire year, and he's not taxed on it because he's so wealthy rules don't even apply.

Then there's the fact that we could also just tax everyone more and ensure medical care for everyone... But nope, you think it's bad to do that. You're fine with your neighbor dying if they can't provide some function to capitalism. And no, it's not even close to accurate to say that a job is providing a service to society, many don't. And let's not get me started on how disabled people and those who otherwise can't work are fucked over because of that "well they need to work a job" mantra that's harmful as heck. Oh, and don't forget how many fields will change forever in coming decades as more and more jobs either end up overseas because it's cheaper for corporations, or because they're automated (also cheaper for corporations) or the like.

Well, I get how that all sounds like gobbledegook if you thrive on human suffering like Mitch McConnell.

Jeff Bezos makes a salary of around 80k a year. Most of his net worth is in stock of amazon which is wealth he and his investors created. Which is a concept modern liberals seem incapable of comprehending. Amazon also has around 840,000 employees that make on average about 28,000 a year. Which adds up to around 23,500,000,000 being paid out every year in salaries.

What do you want to do? Tax him on equity in the massive company that he built from the ground up that he hasn't sold? That's rediculous

The middle has been shrinking for a while now. BLM is good at it's core. On the national stage a lot of people are like wtf. It's like brainwashed zombies out there.

How people are getting wealthy now and everything. THere is lots of crooked stuff out there.

It's what people have had to do to have their voices heard. Blah, blah.

Jeff Bezos is just another one. People want to be heard. Trump is just another one and as crooked as anyone if not moreso and wants people to beileve everyone are crooks except him.

And the sad thing is he might be right except the except him part.

Biden is promising this resurgence of the middle class. I'll believe it when I see it. Politicians have been selling that forever. The middle class has remained stagnant and is slipping. It's because of technology and everything else where people are being brainwashed and aren't as valuable.

The left in general makes promises but if you watch what they do they basically nickel and dime and gouge the middle class with all their other agendas that are more prominant. It's a big pyramid scheme.

Obama did not raise taxes on the ultra wealthy. He basically watched as the wealthy nickel and dimed the entire population in fear that he might.

I think google's ceo is crooked. So are quite a few. You have conservatives and conservative news like the wall street journal with their rose colored utopian glasses. Then you have places like Breitbart. Fox news. CNN etc, etc.. That's just the media too that's not even talkign about actual labor companies and oil companies.

THey are all crooked and driving agendas though that aren't exactly the truth all the time.
